What Sindpd does

SindPD Ceará (Sindicato dos Trabalhadores em Processamento de Dados, Serviços de Computação, de Informática e Novas Tecnologias da Informação do Estado do Ceará) is a private non-profit labor union founded in 1988 and headquartered in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. It holds the statutory designation as the sole representative of IT and data processing workers across the state of Ceará under Brazilian labor law, with affiliated representation for federal and state-owned IT enterprises including SERPRO, DATAPREV, ETICE, BB Tecnologia, and Instituto Atlântico, alongside a growing roster of private-sector IT employers. The union maintains active collective bargaining agreements (ACTs) and sectoral conventions, with at least some running through 2027, and is affiliated with CUT (Central Única dos Trabalhadores) and FENADADOS (Federação Nacional dos Profissionais de Processamento de Dados) for national-level coordination.

The union's core "products" are service offerings to its membership rather than technology products: collective bargaining representation, legal advisory services via partner law firms, contract homologation assistance, union enrollment administration, and an ecosystem of member benefits through partnerships covering education, healthcare, nutrition, optometry, and technical services. Communication channels include the official website (sindpdce.org.br), a YouTube channel (@sindpdceara), regular news and article publishing on labor policy topics, and in-person services at the Fortaleza headquarters. The organization employs between 11 and 50 staff and is governed by an elected executive board (2022/2026 term) led by President Maria Ferreira dos Santos (Neta), with a planned leadership transition to José Valmir Braz underway.

The union's revenue model is anchored in Contribuição Sindical (mandatory and voluntary union membership dues) deducted from member salaries — a recurring subscription-style stream — supplemented by service-related income tied to collective bargaining and member support activities. Pricing is not market-discretionary: dues levels are governed by Brazilian labor law and the union's bylaws. SindPD Ceará does not develop, license, or sell technology products; its "core technology" is the institutional, legal, and communication infrastructure required to operate a category-based labor union, including a website, YouTube presence, and digital content publishing cadence.
